\"\"<\/a>If there was ever a local band that I felt had everything in place to break out of the underground\/local scene then the Bleedin noses were that band, live they had everything, their own sound, almost impossible to pigeon hole them, each LP getting progressive tighter, further defining their own style. before just prior to a European tour with the Meat puppets and a potential US tour, the band took a Hiatus, stopped dead at that point.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Since then there have been a couple of low key gigs, a reconnect with the Meat puppets and finally some new music to get immersed within. So what does it sound like?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Opener Down<\/strong> starts in a reflective mood, playing out the anguish of the past, Kev\u2019s guitar coming to the fore, moving it away from the lilting Americana that opens so many doorways, Ollie\u2019s vocals as strong as ever.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Next up Frontline <\/strong>again pulls at the Americana but there\u2019s an incessant drumbeat that threatens to tear it away and the vocals start to develop an edge that I\u2019ve not picked up from the guys before, to me moving the music away into something with a much harder edge, I get the feeling that this one is going to become a mainstream entry into the live set. There\u2019s a confidence starting to come through, almost a Fuck it! Here we are, this is what we do.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Initially, we\u2019re into more familiar territory with Nobody\u2019s safe<\/strong>, this is a track that could have fit nicely on both earlier LP\u2019s but something\u2019s definitely changed vocally, it\u2019s maintaining that almost raw edge, and guitar-wise it just takes off, Kev\u2019s electric musings adding a whole new depth and dimension.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Last up Unshakeable <\/strong>for me is the track of this ep, its got an almost punk edge, the spat out at times vocals giving this a totally different slant to earlier music, there\u2019s some serious muso tricks going on, organ, drums and Bass before the guitar just tears your face off,<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Summing this up we have a band re-entering the fray, but in no way licking their wounds, a band confident together and with their own demons exorcised. Roll on the new LP I\u2019m liking the subtle changes.<\/p>\n
